I reckon our Luke has an extremely bright future with the full England squad, regardless of which of our international squads he will be chosen for this coming summer.

If Luke goes to the World Cup finals in Brazil, Leighton Baines will, no doubt, be Roy Hodgson's first choice left back, barring possible injury or illness.

It therefore wouldn't be such a bad thing for Luke if he is picked for England's under-20 squad for the Toulon Tournament in France. Perhaps it would be better for Luke to gain such experience.

Going with England to Brazil, even as an unused squad player or as a non squad member there for the experience, could be of value to Luke Shaw's progression towards becoming England's first choice left back.

I believe this is an absolutely great situation for young Luke to be in, I really do! He's our regular first choice left back in the Premier League with Saints and is surely poised to become first choice for his country. The fantastic thing is that Luke is still only eighteen years old! EIGHTEEN!!!

I'm so looking forward to the rest of this season for Saints, to seeing how the England youngsters do in the Toulon Tournament and to the World Cup finals.

Saints now have umpteen international players at all levels and the numbers are increasing!!! I will be watching as many of them as possible during the summer competitions, always supporting them all, except for any that play for England's opponents, but only when they play against England!

It is onward and upward for our Luke and all our Saints internationals and I couldn't be more proud!!! This is a wonderful time to support all our Saints!!!

The best is yet to come!!!

This won't be a popular post, but once the England back room boys analyse Wednesday's game, I fear one moment of ball watching may have given Roy the excuse to stick with the experience of Cole.
Luke allowed his man to get goal side and was unable to make up the two yard start, when chasing him into our penalty box.
Fortunately, the pass, across the box, was not made.

At the moment he is an inexperienced 18 year old, not a programmed robot, he will make mistakes and learn from them.
